ICS Penetron International Ltd., a leader in integral crystalline waterproofing products announced that the Summerville Commissioners of Public Works (SCPW) recently selected Earth Tech, Inc. to design the new systems additions to the SCPW Waste Water Treatment Facility.
Recently Earth Tech, Inc. (an international provider of global water management and transportation, engineering and environmental services for municipal, government and industrial clients) was selected to design the new systems additions to the Summerville Commissioners of Public Works (SCPW) Waste Water Treatment Facility. In the design of this project, which includes a new 5.0 MGD screenings facility and RAS/IAS Pump station among the many other additions and conversions, Earth Tech, Inc specified the use of Penetron Admix for the entire structure of the new Pump Station Wet Well, base slab of the Clarifier Tank and the floor and retaining walls of the Screenings Building. With these facility additions and changes, the SCPW is estimated to realize an initial annual savings of approximately $350,000 per year.
"Penetron is pleased to have been a part of providing the City of Summerville state of the art concrete protection," says Christopher Chen, ICS Penetron's Director of North American Sales and Marketing, "By approving the use of Penetron Admix in their concrete, not only have these critical concrete structures been infused with proven crystalline waterproofing with active sealing technology but they have now also been given added protection from corrosion and damaging freeze-thaw and scaling conditions usually associated with concrete structures of this type."
